6br lee colet help to locate

You can use shims between shellholder and die base for longer cases, but to do shorter cases you have a serious problem. I collet neck size 7X444 with a stock 7-08 collet die and 30X444 with a 308.. The primer punch is not necessary to neck size, all you need is the mandrel. I had a 6.5x47L made from a 243 collet die and that involves some machining and grinding the primer punch off, the 6.5x47 uses a SR primer and smaller flash hole. You can collet size AI cases with a regular collet die, you do want to check to make sure the AI type shoulder doesn't touch the die during the collet sizing process. None of mine ever have.... but you know...Murphy's Law.

OR, you can have Lee make you a custom collet die <$100. Check their website under custom work.
